TARIFF CHANGES
BRITISH MINISTER QUESTIONED,
LONDON, Wednesday
In the House of Commons, replying to Mr G. le M. Mander’s question whether, in view of the New Zealand tariff reductions, the Government Avould take the opportunity of arranging a free exchange of commodities, Mr J. 11. Thomas, Dominions Secretary, said that the Government very much appreciated New Zealand’s spirit of eo-operation, but they did not feel that, the general considerations he had outlined in the* House on 7th May were affected by these changes.
During the House of Commons debate on Dominion affairs on 7th May, the Dominions Secretary, Mr Thomas, referring specially to New Zealand, said that a number of people there had urged upon their Government that, if all tariffs against British goods were removed, Britain would take everything New Zealand cared to send. The New Zealand communication in regard to this was not taken by the British Government as an offer because it was perfectly obvious that no New Zealand Government could entertain such a position.
